Nature Restoration Fund: Supply Market Research for Great Crested Newt EDPs

Officials from Natural England and Defra are hosting a virtual webinar on Tuesday 14 July 2026, 11:00 – 12:30, and we would like to invite you to join us.

The session is aimed at private and third-sector suppliers currently active in, or interested in, the Great Crested Newt (GCN) market. It will provide early insight into how Natural England intends to deliver the Nature Restoration Fund, with a focus on GCN Environmental Delivery Plans (EDPs), potential conservation measures, and procurement routes within GCN markets.

You will also have the opportunity to share your views in an open QA session on capacity, capability, and the practicalities of working within an EDP framework.
